Book excerpt: On the emerald green island of Jamaica, an unpredictable adventure awaits twins Ana and Nicky who travel there to celebrate their coming of age. Under the Caribbean sun, they anticipate a holiday filled with fun, freedom, and excitement. But the idyllic island harbours hidden dangers beyond their expectations. As the twins revel amid the natural tropical beauty, the thin veneer of paradise soon peels away. Their riveting journey quickly becomes a rollercoaster of suspense and action, where lust masquerades as love, morality wears ambiguous shades of gray, innocence hangs in the balance, and ruin looms one impulsive misstep away. Ultimately, Ana and Nicky’s suspenseful odyssey of twists and turns, romantic encounters, and narrow escapes will redefine their limits of self-preservation. On an island where peril and pleasure intertwine, the twins’ quest for discovery threatens any chance of returning home the same. Their choices will determine if this final fling is merely the end of their adventurous holiday or the end of innocence itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jamaicans, like others around the world, often experience a tugging at the heart that can only be assuaged by pleasant memories. In her collection of old Jamaican proverbs, Edna Bennett shares the powerful messages and folk wisdom of the Jamaican people, conveying not only the mellowness of nostalgia, but also the gentleness of the island culture. Led by a desire to keep her culture alive, Bennett urges others to take five, cock up yu foot, and member what yu old people used to say as she offers collective wisdom presented in Jamaican dialect with English translations. Unforgettable sayings gathered from over three hundred years of Jamaican history include ban yu belly (be prepared for hardships), cotton tree fall dung, nanny goat jump over it (when the mighty falls, the humblest may take advantage of him), and yu se man face, yu nuh se im heart (you cannot tell a mans true feelings by the look on his face). More Jamaica Old-Time Sayings will spur memories, transport Jamaicans back to the roots of their culture, and encourage others to not live their lives like a kitchen without a knife, but to focus on the whetstone of Jamaican wisdom.
Download or read book Two Thin Dimes written by Caleb Alexander and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh voice in urban fiction spins a classic romance into a modern-day love story about sisterhood, faith, and overcoming obstacles. This humorous tale of love and triumph ties two unlikely suitors together in a merry mix of plotting and gossip. On one side is R&B superstar, Jamaica, and on the other is the passionate, but impoverished Tameer. When the two are brought together in what is meant to be a temporary relationship—arranged by Jamaica's best friend and personal assistant LaChina—both are surprised when true feelings burst onto the scene and disrupt everyone's plans. With Tameer's drunken father, Jamaica's socialite mother, and a band of super-ghetto, meddling friends all blended together, Two Thin Dimes becomes a hilarious, topsy-turvy fight for love in a world gone mad. Going beyond the simple rich girl, poor boy tale, Caleb Alexander brings his popular style to a whole new level and draws his growing audience along with him as the story takes on social class, unexpected romance, loyalty to friends, and—most importantly—the cost of true love.

Download or read book Five Weeks to Jamaica written by Doug Oudin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who in this wide and wonderful world has not wanted to say Screw this! and venture off to some exotic tropical destination? Some years ago, four young adventurers from Southern California did just thatand this is their story. Convinced that they were buying passage aboard a luxury cruise ship bound for Jamaica, Kurt Decker, his girlfriend Madison, his brother Larry, and their friend Marcos had high expectations. Those expectations were dashed the minute they saw the decidedly luxury-impaired motor vessel Explorer in Ensenada, Mexico. Despite numerous red flags, they boarded, and the bizarre odyssey that would forever change their lives began. The odd and eclectic group of passengers with whom they shared the dubious comforts of the stately ship of fools became family. Their 5,780-nautical-mile journey took them along the coast of Mexico and Central America, through the Panama Canal, and across the Gulf of Mexico to Jamaica. The voyage inspired no shortage of laughter, tears, joy, and romanceor drama, excitement, and danger along the way too. But once in Jamaica, a new twist to the adventure developed. They agreed to set sail with a salty Englishman aboard a steel-hulled sailboat bound for Florida, where a vicious tropical storm en route threatened their very lives. For those who love the sea, and for those who merely wonder about it, Five Weeks to Jamaica is a window into the capriciousness of the ocean and the tumultuous vagaries of human nature.

Book excerpt: On December 16, 1967, five adventurous boys from one of the Island’s elite high schools, Jamaica College, set out into the majestic Blue Mountains in search of a mythical trail, endeavouring to reach its highest point, the Peak, at elevation 7402 feet. They never made it.A platoon of soldiers dispatched to the area where it was believed that the boys began their hike along the Blue Mountain Ridge, reported that they were never there or had vanished into the jungle. The soldiers turned back.After almost ten days in heavily forested terrain described as “inaccessible as any place in the world, and perhaps where no man has ever trodden,” they found themselves hopelessly lost, trapped, and far from a living soul. Cold and starving, they probably only had hours to live.This is the story of the harrowing journey that would make headlines and test the character of five boys as they faced down death on their way to manhood. Using eyewitness accounts, maps and never-before-seen photographs, the author tracks the action from an innocent plan hatched during Christmas break to the dramatic, last-ditch efforts to rescue the boys.In 1967, Geoffrey Haddad was a curious Jamaica College student with a passion for the outdoors. He was one of the five.
